If anyone knows how to pronounce stop in Japanese if you would tell me it would be greatly appreciated!
 
Hhhhhh....we used to play around with Japonizing engurishi words...so funny.
btw welcome to the forum, Chyahnne!
Sounds like you're in a hurry, so hope to chit-chat later!

I could say for the nominal,
"SU-TO-PU"
ス-ト-プ

or the following to prevent voicing the T into D, P to B.
"SU(T)-TO(P)-PU"
スッ-トッ-プ

Possibly for the verbal imperative for telling someone to stop,
"SU-TO-PU-na!" (rude form)
ス-ト-プ-で-な!

or to be more gentle,
"SU-TO-PU-nasai!" (please stop!)*
"ス-ト-プ-で-なさい!
"SU-TO-PU kudasai!" (please stop!)
ス-ト-プ-で ください!

or even more polite,
"doozo SU-TO-PU kudasai!" (please kindly stop!)
"ど-ぞ ス-ト-プ-で ください!

Edit: *-nasai is not considered a gentle command.

"I wouldn't call that particularly gentle, 'nasai' has a pretty strong ring to it and is e.g. used by parents when addressing their kids or teachers when addressing their students. I wouldn't use it when talking to, say, your boss."

You know I thought it was something else, like damare or yamado(?) I mean I always hear those words when I watch anime.

care to help out here?
 
やめる(YA-ME-RU) Is stop in japanese more or less。
Then there is やめろう?I think that is how you spell it (Like ~mashou).

Yame is possible, damare is closer to 'shut up' though.
 
I can see Fan-Subs using だまれ as stop in argumentative transcripts。 But still it's shut up/be quiet.

P.S.: I'm back, got my computer fixed, turned out my power supply was on its way out.

Welcome back, John!
You've been having some major trouble with your hardware!
I though you were still busy with you friends' website....but now I know!
And thanks again for correcting me.
I love people who correct me!

Honestly I think you should go to members intro forum to properly reintroduce yourself,

OR

Create a new subforum called "Welcome Back, Old Member!" :p
 
As a Japanese speaker, I would say "sutoppu" less often than "damaru" or "yameru."

An angry man would say "damare" (shut up; stop speaking) or "yamero" (stop, pointing to either speech or action by another).

A woman would say "damatte" or "yamete."

Politely, a person (of either gender) would say "damatte-kudasai" or "yamete-kudasai."

HTH!! :-)

そうですね。子供に頼む時「。。。下さい。」という言い方は丁寧すぎておかしいですね。
:eek:
 
If you want -nasai form:

Yame-nasai
Damari-nasai (colloquially, damannasai)

Sutoppu is not used in forms like:
Sutoppu shiro!
Sutoppu shite!
Sutoppu shitekudasai.

It does not take these conjugation forms in Japanese. It is used on its own, like "Sutoppu!"

I could say for the nominal,
"SU-TO-PU"
ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致

or the following to prevent voicing the T into D, P to B.
"SU(T)-TO(P)-PU"
ニ湛ニ鍛-ニ暖ニ鍛-ニ致

Possibly for the verbal imperative for telling someone to stop,
"SU-TO-PU-na!" (rude form)
ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙?窶堙?

or to be more gentle,
"SU-TO-PU-nasai!" (please stop!)*
"ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙?窶堙遺?堋ウ窶堋「!
"SU-TO-PU kudasai!" (please stop!)
ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙 窶堋ュ窶堋セ窶堋ウ窶堋「!

or even more polite,
"doozo SU-TO-PU kudasai!" (please kindly stop!)
"窶堙?窶堋シ ニ湛-ニ暖-ニ致-窶堙 窶堋ュ窶堋セ窶堋ウ窶堋「!

I don't think they would use "doozo stop shite kudasai" in a polite way. This is because "stop" is a rather blunt word, and no matter how you try to play around with it, the tone of the sentence would still remain rather hard.

I think a more polite way would be to say something like "o yame kudasai" or "o yame kudasaimasen deshouka"

:-) Thanks! I've been wondering and of course I have been watching anime and I would see them say something like that.
